I am back onto one of my favourite topics today - prints and patterns for children, and these snapshots are all Marks & Spencer. They've been in the news this week announcing store closures and plans to focus online. But despite any company woes they remain a great place to seek out colourful, on trend kids design. Thumbs up to the M&S buyers who are certainly choosing some great prints. Below are some of the lovely SS2018 kidswear range snapped in my local branch....
These are just a few fashion prints spotted whilst in Marks & Spencer. There were lots of cut out Matisse style designs and very painterly and colourful florals for holiday wear.
Last month it was announced that after nearly eight successful years of teaching at Make It In Design, their dedicated team have been reviewing the best ways for them to serve that reflects evolving e-learning opportunities and their growing community. They are more committed than ever to supporting the design careers of their wonderful community and to this end have decided to introduce some major changes to Make It In Design. They will shortly be transitioning Modules 1, 2 and 3 of The Art and Business of Surface Pattern Design from live classes to instant access self-paced classes, so they can be taken at any time. Please note their flagship course The Ultimate Portfolio Builder will still be offered as a live online class twice a year, so they can continue to offer individual reviews. In addition they will shortly be opening the virtual doors to a brand new Make It In Design Members’ Club, which will be a low-cost-high-value monthly subscription offering access to expert design advice and support all year round. This will become the primary way for their community to access the teaching of Rachael Taylor and a number of guest teachers, the private design community, and a host of practical goodies to support students professional development and design business.This will allow the entire team to offer an even more personalised and efficient service, and give the community exactly what they need and when they need it. It is due to launch July 2nd 2018. As usual when we have any news from Make it in Design we like to post a graduate showcase and we start with Nikki Williams above and Lana Coopman below from Module 3 - Monetising your designs.
